Travel to the Galapagos Islands on our

Expedition Ship, the M/V Evolution

Our Expedition Ship, the M/V Evolution

16 Cabins • 32 Guests • 16 Crew • 2 Naturalist Guides (1 as Expedition Leader)

For our 10-day Galapagos Island vacation we have selected the M/V Evolution, a fine way to explore this archipelago that is so rich in wildlife. Accommodating just 32 guests, the Evolution has ample public space and plenty of comfort. There is an observation deck, a canopied bar on the roof deck and an infirmary. Two-person kayaks also are available and a doctor is aboard on every voyage. Meals are served in one seating in the dining room, and weather permitting, there may be one or more meals served outdoors.

Because there is an “open bridge” policy, during your Galapagos adventure cruise you are welcome to visit the captain and crew and learn all about the ship’s operation and navigation. Each day our naturalist guides will give talks and briefings on the day’s events and about the natural and human history of the Galapagos. They will help you understand the context of what you’ve seen and help prepare you for the next day’s activities.
